'Assuring that children eat enough edible food, drink clean water, are housed in hygienic facilities with sanitary bathrooms, have soap and toothpaste, and are not sleep-deprived are without doubt essential to the children's safety,' the ruling states.

A federal appeals court on Thursday dismissed a Trump administration argument that"safe and sanitary" conditions do not specifically require access to items such as soap and toothbrushes, as well as adequate sleep for children in custody at Border Patrol stations.

A three-judge panel for the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a lower court had the right to specify what"safe and sanitary" conditions were required. The lower court ordered the government to provide specific hygiene items, as well as directing the government to hire a"juvenile coordinator.

Sad commentary that you care more about illegal aliens than the children of U.S. citizens!! Sadly many of our own children are sleeping on the streets of San Francisco in filth and you completely ignore them!!

If only all the children that are citizens had that. Wouldn't that be great

Now try all of our homeless population!

Or their parents can just go home with them?

Tell that to the democratic leaders in Flint Michigan please.

America (we are all included b/c of realDonaldTrump) has become a loathing, despotic state if we have to be ORDERED to treat human beings as human beings. We WERE better than THIS! I don’t know if we ever will be again. This STAIN of vehement evil and hatred has penetrated deep

Why aren’t our children cared for like illegals . They were warned not to come. They have no respect. There r Americans that have family members not even a place to live no necessities . Look at our sidewalks with disease coming to infect everyone.

Does that go for American kids as well?

Trump is 25% artificial American, 45% German and 30% somewhere in the UK. The children in the jails are 100% Americans from the continent of North America!!!

You’ll have a real hard time spinning these as concentration camps

Wow, just like they do in Detroit, Baltimore, Newark,NJ, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and L.A. for American Citizen kids.

It's sickening that the bare minimum of humane standards had to be enforced by the courts.

Could you please make sure ALL of our homeless camps have these same perks?
